| Περίληψη: | Objective: To assess the impact of periodontitis and associated factors on self-perception of oral health among Brazilian male crack cocaine users in withdrawal treatment. Method and Materials: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 242 adult male crack cocaine users in rehabilitation programs in two municipalities in Paraná, Brazil. Periodontal status, oral health behavior, addiction history, socioeconomic, and sociodemographic data were analyzed. Self-perceived oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) was assessed by the short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), cross-culturally adapted and validated for the Brazilian population. Descriptive statistical analysis and univariate and multiple Poisson regression were performed. Results: The periodontal parameters were observed: probing depth ≥ 4 mm in 20.2% of crack cocaine addicts, clinical attachment level ≥ 4 mm in 23.6%, bleeding on probing in 90.9%, gingival bleeding in 96.3%, plaque and calculus in equal frequencies of 97.1%. Periodontitis was diagnosed in 63% of the sample and the mean OHIP-14 score was 24. All individuals with periodontitis presented impact on OHRQoL. Periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) was significantly correlated with OHRQoL (r = 0.18; P = .007). In the multiple regression model, the prevalence of a negative impact on perception of oral health was statistically different among individuals with metallic taste in the mouth (prevalence ratio = 1.11; 95% CI = 1.03-1.20) and tooth mobility (prevalence ratio = 1.09; 95% CI = 1.00-1.18). Conclusion: Periodontitis may be associated with OHRQoL and high scores of OHIP-14 in crack cocaine users in withdrawal treatment, regardless of socioeconomic, demographic, behavioral, and other oral conditions.
